• Fucking hell, I had a scary one this morning.

    Im turning off of the strand, left onto drury lane. I indicate that Im turning left and take the appropriate line in. A red van behind me decides to accelerate past me as I have started turning, to turn left himself, essentially cutting off my path. I slam on my brakes and avoid going into the side of him. I shout "what the f***" at him, he gestures at me and starts shouting something that I cant hear. I call him a dick.

    He then swerves his van at me aggresively several times (im on his inside). I think to hell with this and stop and let him go. I made a mental note of his reg but wasnt convinced I would remember him so I decide to catch him. I filter past him on the left and he is swearing at me some more. I told him I was going to report him to the police and his boss (company van) and then cycle off. I then pulled over to write his reg and company name down on my phone, but he sees me and slams on his brakes (stopping traffic) to have a word with him. He is really aggressive, pointing at me and telling me to "watch my fucking mouth". He told me that he took a wide berth to overtake me and that I should have taken a tighter line. He said that I shouldnt be riding a "stupid fucking push bike". I told him its single lane traffic and that youre not supposed to overtake on a left turn like that. He tells me to fuck off etc and to watch my back and drives off.

    So what do I do now? Call the police? Use the link in the first post? Call his company?

    I want to be kept anonymous, this dude was scary, don't want him visiting my house...

    V888 form using a false name, find his address, bulldoze it. Tell the police you had a sneezing fit and you need your heavy machinery license to do your job. You'll get a £100 fine and a 3 month suspended sentence.
